• PCIe 4.0 will not be coming to existing Ryzen motherboards.  (AnandTech)

I've only watched the first (short) season, plus two episodes of the second, and there's now five times as much so I'm going to give it another go.  The first season was great, but the start of the second season just felt flat to me at the time.  We'll see.

Update: Just re-watched the first seven minutes of the first episode of the first season.  It is really good.
